{"product_id":"the-odyssey-by-homer","title":"The Odyssey BY Homer","description":"\u003ci\u003eSing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns \\ndriven time and again off course, once he had plundered \\nthe hallowed heights of Troy.\u003c\/i\u003e \\n \\nSo begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e. \\n \\nIf the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e is the world's greatest war epic, then the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. \\n \\nIn the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. \\n \\nRenowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb Introduction and textual commentary provide new insights and background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles' translation. \\n \\nThis is an \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to delight both the classicist and the public at large, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students. \\n \\n-- \\n \\nRobert Fagles, winner of the PEN\/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning new modern-verse translation.","brand":"SuperBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52782243905817,"sku":null,"price":999.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/3898\/0377\/files\/nature-leaf-Photoroom-10-2.png?v=1789995269","url":"https:\/\/superbooks.pk\/products\/the-odyssey-by-homer","provider":"SuperBooks Pakistan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
